“The new 12-sided pound coin continues the evolution of what is regarded by many as the world’s oldest living currency. Using new technology to improve the security of a coin is at the very heart of the Guinea story.”…

The East India Company, London is pleased to announce the unveiling of their most recent gold coins: The Guinea Bicentenary Collection. A series of historically accurate and authentically crafted golden Guineas which pay special tribute to the coin that became the pride of Britain during an era which lasted from the Restoration of the Monarchy to the Napoleonic Wars.

The East India Company, specialists in coin manufacturing, released the limited edition coin, worth precisely 200 grams to commemorate the number of Test appearances by the legendary batsman and double struck in 24-carat gold.

Set with over 100 diamonds, this is a truly exquisite piece designed as a collectible to remember this significant event – Queen Elizabeth II’s ‘Diamond Jubilee’. The faithful likeness of Queen Elizabeth was first sculpted in plaster and then struck in fine gold and silver.

The One Mohur is inspired by the original One and Two Mohur gold coins, which were struck for the first time in 1835 bearing the effigy of William IV on the obverse and a Lion and Palm Tree motif on the reverse.
